What Parents Say
Herbert G. Birch ECC HS has mixed reviews with strong praise from most parents highlighting excellent staff care and child development, but serious concerns raised by two reviewers about staff responsiveness, communication, and classroom management practices.
Worst school ever. They don’t seem to care about barely speaking children at all. From teachers to the principal, everyone seems more focused on protecting themselves and defending each other than listening to parents’ concerns. Parents’ voices do not matter to them. There is no communication—you are left guessing what is happening with your child at school. It feels like a group of people enabling each other’s failures. Some paraprofessionals appear to be there just for the paycheck, do little to no work, and there have even been instances of physical abuse towards my kid
I participated in a school tour for my son at this institution. The individual conducting the tour appeared to be somewhat disinterested, as I was left waiting outside for a duration of 10 minutes before gaining entry to the building. During the tour, I was shown two classrooms where my son may potentially be placed, as well as the basement gymnasium. It is worth noting that access to the gym requires navigating several flights of stairs, which students will be expected to descend unassisted. As we were preparing to ascend the stairs, I encountered one of the teachers from the classroom who was determinedly urging a child to use the bathroom by clapping her hands in front of their face. Unaware of our presence behind her, I realized at that moment that I would not feel at ease leaving my son in this environment. Consequently, I promptly exited the building without further inquiry or divulging any additional information about my intentions. As a parent with a child enrolled here, I would recommend conducting periodic visits to observe the conduct of the teachers and assistants. While the school may have received positive feedback, it is crucial to ensure the well-being and treatment of your child by all staff members.
My twins (Alex & Sandra) went to this school for two years. They were in separate classes so I met different teaches from school. All of them are giving so much attention and afford to kids. We got huge progress in their development and even daycare teacher was asking references for their kids, seeing all that development progress what we got from Birch School. I'm so grateful for my twins to be there. All the staff is like a family for kids. Thank you for Birch Team, I wish we could stay for all grades with you. If anyone needs more details, you are more than welcome to contact me.
This is absolutely the best school for our daughter! Best teachers and therapists! So loving kind and have lots of patience!
Lovely experience
